Time so start thinking Nashville, N'awlins, Houston, etc.

I agree in that I'd rather go to hell than the ATL but there are some things to remember.

Approx 30,000 SECCG tix are like me, auto renewals. When we bought tix for the first one in 92 you were automatically guaranteed from then on if you bought from the SEC. LP in Nashville only seats 69K so there would less tix available to general public. Also, nobody including me wanted to sit outside at Legion in December and I sure as heck don't want to sit outside in Nashville in Dec. You need a stadium that seats at least 76K to keep things like they are.
No Houston. Not in the southeast. I know teams are outside the SEC now but we don't have to move events to those locations. At least keep our events in the SEC.
I say:
Atlanta
New Orleans
Orlando

Bottom line, it ain't going anywhere. B'ham and ATL are geographically centered and ATL runs the southeast anyway. It ain't going anywhere as long as we are alive I'm afraid.
